  "summary": "The article highlights an issue where suppliers' email filters were automatically acknowledging purchase orders sent by a company as soon as they were opened, even though no human had interacted with the order. This led to situations where suppliers had never seen or processed the orders, causing significant disruptions in the supply chain. The company addressed the problem by modifying its email system to require a person to confirm the acknowledgement, ensuring that only actual human interaction would count as an acknowledged order.",
